The tube of fake blood (28 ml) is dark red water-based theatrical blood from Boland, packaged in a handy tube with a red cap.
During Halloween, you can use it to create a trail of blood from the corner of your mouth, a drop under a vampire bite, or a stain around a homemade zombie wound. The label features the name in four languages, from fake blood to Theaterblut and nepbloed, so you’ll recognize the tube immediately among your makeup supplies.

When should you choose fake blood in a tube?
Choose fake blood in a tube if you want to apply the blood precisely: you can squeeze out exactly the amount you need and place it where the wound is supposed to be. A 28 ml tube is therefore ideal for accents on the face, neck, or hands, where a few drops make a bigger impact than a whole squirt. Start with one drop and add more only after seeing how the trail looks. This way, you build up the bleeding layer by layer instead of applying everything at once.
Fake blood with makeup, glasses, and jewelry
Fake blood stands out most on a pale background. Therefore, first apply a layer of white or grey makeup and add the red afterwards to create a sharp color contrast. Dark makeup around the eyes makes a vampire or zombie look deeper and makes a trail of blood underneath stand out even more. If you want your accessories to look bloody too, choose glasses or a necklace that already have blood splatters on them, so the fake blood stays on your skin.
Order the tube of fake blood and complete your Halloween look with a few drops along your mouth or eye.
